Simply put, staff shenanigan (Summer 2011)

see you soon.

good-bye my sweet ones, yr faces were perhaps the best to wake up to. but alas, it is time to say our good-byes. meaning that you can no longer give me scabies, we can no longer fight for a shower on a water day, and we can’t vent to each other about silly things like not having  the yummy coffee cookies, which we all love so much.

it has been fun, these past ten weeks or so, there are many fond memories that i probs. won’t forget: Eliza’s awkward dancing, King’s Cup with Emergen-C, the mouse crawling over Klya in her sleep, the dead one we found behind the vols.’ things, and of course Florian in his itsy-bitsy underwear for dinner.

i hope that we do meet up, and that we do have a chance to teach the beloved grandma Marissa, what exactly ‘the Lil’ Wayne’ is.

anyone down for bungee-jumping in Canada? It’s free if you go naked…

We spent perhaps way too much time together, and now we have withdrawal. To the panqueques, the Hondo Hipsters and Florian's Farts:
Our Baleada Bunch Blog.


Comprised of Bachata dancing, scabies ridden, bacterially infected and hemorrhoided hotties, the Baleada Bunch got it's name from stuffing their faces with quite a few too many Baleadas per day. Now we can only dream of the damn things-

water.

what a luxury you are. every other day you grace me with your presence, but then sometimes even on water days you don't dare show your face...leaving us with dirty toilet bowls, and dishes. but on the bright side..we got our new supervisor.

We put butterflies on our job wheels to make chores fun. 

The stove blew up today, it also melted the pan in the process...safety first?

This would not be Central America if:

To seguir adelante como la Juliana in her Male Privilege Project..well not really but it is really quite nice, and you should check it out anyways-

I present you with:

This would not be Central America if:

• When I walk down the street, I get cat calls.
• When I go to someone's house they say 'Pase adelante' before they even know who I am.
• When I hop into someone's pick-up truck the men give me their seat.
• When I walk through communities they send their child with me so the dogs don't eat me.
• When I walk from one house to another, the dogs bark at you without stopping.
• When I do anything, I appear incompetent because 1) I am a gringa and 2) I am woman.
• When you try and cook something on the stove, you get electrocuted.
• When you live with Florian, there are no bananas in the house-ever.
• When you go out on route, you look like a dork-and when you come back, you are still a dork, a bit dirtier,  and radiating happiness (if you didn't have a sick vol.)

Someone special had their birthday..To celebrate we made her two cakes: one with peanut butter frosting, and the other with coffee.. 

Happy Birthday my dear Kyla Renfrow!

CaTRASHrophy!

Here at Staff House we are lucky enough to have a bunch of dogs that roam around in the yard..but we are even more lucky when the dogs bite the trash bags and carry it around the yard. Leaving us the mess to clean up, oh wait this happens everyday.

Each day, we brainstorm new ways to prevent this from happening, thus far..we got nothing. They even got into our wooden box! So our new idea was to put it on the roof! Ingenious, so Kyla took it upon herself to maneuver it up there, standing on the chair (this is a plastic chair mind you..)

Too bad this didn't work either, and instead she ended up falling off of the chair onto the ground and the trash, it went all over her..But now it is on the roof!

Down a Supervisor : (

We have a problem, one of our supervisors decided to go home. Leaving us one person down, and four communities with nobody-some 11 volunteers with no role model to look up to..

 Now as we wait at Staff House and plan for vol. briefing, we are crossing our fingers that somebody can fill the shoes..but we have 'exhausted our list' according to International Office (IO)..Well shucks! Now we place bets.

What do we do at Staff House?
